• General Notes

  John la Warre, 2nd Lord (Baron) la Warre, KB; present Siege of Carlaverock, knight 1306, called to Parliament by writs 26 Aug1307 - 25 Aug 1318 made out to "John la Warre, de la Warre or le Warre" thus apparently by later doctrine undergoing the absurdity of being created Lord la Warre during his father's lifetime and by the same title, though his possession of the castle and manor of Ewyas Harold, Herefs (inherited through his mother) as a tenant in chief of the Crown may by contemporaries have been deemed to justify his summons to Parliament as a Lord Baron of Parliament.

  BARONY LA WARRE (II)
  
  JOHN (LA WARRE), LORD LA WARRE, son and heir. He did homage for his purparty of the lands of his grandfather, Sir John Tregoz, 26 November 1300, being then aged 23 or 24. Partition of these lands was made 21 December following, when he was assigned the castle and manor of Ewyas Harold, the manors of Allington, Albrighton, &c. He claimed, however, all the knights' fees and advowsons pertaining to the castle of Ewyas; but the Council in Chancery ordered them to be divided. He then petitioned the King in Parliament in the summer of 1302, when award was again made that these knights' fees should be divided, and they were partitioned, 29 October 1302; but he refused to sue out a writ for his purparty until 20 January 1305/6. He was at the siege of Carlaverock in July 1300, and on the King's service in Scotland in 1303 and 1304, but, with others, withdrew before the end of the war: it was therefore ordered, 15 October 1306, that he should be arrested, and his lands taken into the King's hand: he recovered them, 23 January 1306/7. He was knighted by the Prince of Wales, 22 May 1306, at Westminster. He was summoned, for Military Service from 21 June 1308 to 21 March 1332/3, to attend the Coronation, 18 January 1307/8, to Councils from 8 January 1308/9 to 25 February 1341/2, and to Parliament from 26 August 1307 to 25 August 1318, by writs directed Johanni la Warre, de la Warre, or le Warre, whereby he is held to have become LORD LA WARRE during his father's lifetime. He had respite of homage for the tenements which he held of the honour of Lancaster, on petition in the Parliament of 15-16 Edward ll. In 1336 he was falsely reported to be dead. He married, soon after 19 November 1294, Joan, sister and coheir, eventually sole heir, of Sir Thomas DE GRELLE or GRELLEY [LORD GRELLE], and elder daughter of Sir Robert DE GRELLE, of Manchester and Cuerdley, co. Lancaster, Swineshead, Sixhills, and Bloxholm, co. Lincoln, Woodhead, Rutland, &c., by Hawise, 2nd daughter and coheir of Sir John DE BURGH, of Wakerley, Northants, Portslade Sussex, Walkern Herts &c. He died 9 May 1347. His widow, with whom be had held jointly divers manors had these liberated to her, 10 June 1347. On 22 May 1351 she was stated to be so feeble from age that she could not sue, nor defend her right, in person. She died 20 or 21 March 1352/3.
